Talk Track: STB Greenlights UPNS Merger Application…With Conditions

The Surface Transportation Board hit the industry with a surprise May 28th when it suddenly came in with a ruling on the UPNS merger application. In our latest Talk Track episode, Harris + David start unpacking what the filing actually says + how the STB is currently looking like the winner in all this. They cover the Board’s pretty pointed request for more competitive data, what the further hearings might mean, + how the industry as a whole is starting to position itself - from capital being closely held to contingency plans being made. Alongside all of this, they also turn the conversation towards the Build America 250 surface transportation bill - CRISI grants, telematics investment, + the two-person crew mandate, in particular. Freight railroads are truly a hot topic right now + we expect more headlines to come!
